JD Vance may visit Pakistan for second round of peace talks with Iran: Report
US Vice President JD Vance is expected to travel to Islamabad for urgent talks with Iran aimed at de-escalating the ongoing conflict as a fragile ceasefire nears its end. The United States, under President Donald Trump, has warned of renewed attacks on Iranian infrastructure if talks fail, while hinting at a possible deadline extension if progress is made. Iran’s participation was initially uncertain due to internal pressure from the Revolutionary Guards, which demanded the lifting of the naval blockade before negotiations could take place. However mediation efforts by regional countries helped Iran secure an agreement to participate. Senior US envoys are also expected to join the delegation. Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire through maritime tensions and sanctions. The situation remains highly volatile due to increasing risks in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy route. The outcome of the Islamabad meeting is being considered important for regional and global stability.
